    Thumbs up for the pup, but also great to see you're one of us "non-existent" people that will order a new car with a standard transmission

    The love that you have for your family (humans and dogs) is so touching. Everyone has their own comfort level sharing things online, but it really warms my heart how much you clearly love your dogs, wife and daughters.

    I don't have a recipe per se, they are a little different every time and evolved over many years. I cook them from dry beans. I start 1 pound dry beans soaking in the morning, they will soak ~8 hours, soaking time is not crucial because I use a pressure cooker (instapot). Drain the beans, and then instant pot I saute about 1/2 minced onion (or one small) in olive oil until it starts to turn a little black. I like red or yellow (but not sweet) onion, when the onion is almost done add 1 large clove minced garlic. I use about 2 tbsp of olive oil and add some some salt to draw out the flavor of the onion. I add the garlic later because I don't like burnt garlic. Once the onion and salt is done I add 1 cup broth (chicken or veggie) and 1.5 cup water then the drained soaked beans. I also like to add paprika and dried ground new mexico chilies, maybe 1/4-1/2 tsp of each. If you want it smokey you can put a dash of smoked paprika, but be careful a little goes a long way. Then I put the lid on and pressure cook for 12 minutes (about 1.5 times the reccomended time). After that they should be pretty soft. I transfer it all to a big saute pan and cook down the water, and make the beans even softer. This may take 30-45 minutes. When the beans get really soft you can start mashing them a bit with the back of a big spoon. I like to leave a lot of whole beans, but after the pressure cooking and additional cooking they are creamy and yummy. I sometimes use shallots instead of onion in garlic. Sometimes I deglaze the pan with a splash of wine after the onion is cooked. Same recipe works for black beans.

    Your steadfast adherence to recipes sound a lot like my style of cooking. I don’t have an instapot, but you’ve given me some good ideas. Thanks muchly :thumbsup:

    I only recently got the instant pot. I works fine without, but takes much longer. A Mexican friend of mine said that her mom first cooks the onion until it is all black and then removes it before cooking more. It find that if you mince the onion fine enough you can get the same results without taking it out.
